The observed corrosion attack and mechanisms will be discussed in detail considering the testing conditions and the microstructure of the RAFM-steels. The evaluated data for ODS-Eurofer corrosion will be compared with values of ‘single’ phase ’classical‘ Eurofer. In this paper results from long-term corrosion testing of ODS-Eurofer will be reported for exposure times up to 1.5 years at a flow velocity of 0.1 m/s. This paper concludes by proposing measures that the US Army can implement to mitigate the need for an unplanned logistic pause during ground offensives in the contemporary operating environment.

Nevertheless, reliable data concerning compatibility with Pb-15.7Li are missing until now. each campaign and examines the factors that nearly led to a pause in ODS and led to an actual pause in OIF. However, structural materials with better strength and creep resistance like ODS-Eurofer or ferritic steels are gathering interest in blanket development and will be required at least for DCLL application due to higher operation temperatures. All these alloys were ‘single’ phase ferritic-martensitic steels without any additions. These corrosion tests pointed out, that the corrosion attack depends mainly on flow velocity and temperature.

and Eurofer showed that these alloys are attacked by the flowing breeder. In the past, investigations concerning the corrosion behavior of RAFM-steels like F82H-mod. In HCLL and WCLL designs the structural material will be in direct contact with the flowing liquid breeder at operating temperatures up to 550 ☌. Low activation ferritic-martensitic steels (RAFM-steels) are foreseen as structural materials in different blanket designs (HCLL, DCLL, WCLL) with Pb-15.7Li as breeding and partly also as cooling medium.
